Wife off the deep end!

My wife is due in April and she has lost all sense of reasoning! I am always wrong no matter what I do and she predicts how I will behave in the future. For christ's sake its like she has a crystal ball that I dont know about! I try to be extra helpful and try not to argue with her as I know I could possibly be killed in a hormonal rage. I have started to hide sharp objects for my own safety. Any tips?

i think the only real tip is to stick it out, man. these pregnancy hormones aren't to be trifled with. Â

and remember to give her some slack. she's put on probably 20, 30 pounds in the last six months, all her body's chemicals are thrown out of wack and she's got to be incredibly uncomfortable with the large, hard tummy and unborn fetus she's carrying around. ^_^

I kind of disagree with the others, depending on the situation. While it is true that pregnancy causes hormonal changes that affects moods and emotions, there are still limits. Don't let it get abusive, for example (verbal or physical). If she goes too far, you absolutely need to step away, but when she has calmed down, you are not out of line to say something like, "I want you to know that what you said earlier hurt me a lot, and I hope you don't really mean it." Hopefully, she will at least acknowledge that much, and that is fine. Drop it and move on. However, while pregnancy is an explanation for her behavior, do not let it be an excuse. It is not acceptable for her to say, "I'm pregnant, I'm allowed to be a *****." No one is allowed to be mean on purpose, and if that is what she is doing, she needs to cease.

It's one thing to get out of control because of hormones, but not the same as using hormones as an excuse to get out of control.

LOL I am sorry this made me laugh I am a mommy due in April as well. Listen there is a difference between being a little more hateful and being a psychopath. I am not innocent of being a b*tch myself but don't let her get abusive I think women get too much of a power trip because we are carrying the child ourselves I've been fighting with alot of moms on this site because they are treating their men like nothing more than sperm donors. Its normal for her to not feel well and be irritable but its not normal for her to be mean all of the time and aggressive. Next time she goes off on you I would advise her that you understand she is under a lot of stress and have a lot of changes with her body and you are willing to do anything to help but at the same time tell her that her actions are hurting your feelings and you don't feel like she is treating you like her partner. Try not to be confrontational just state what I said and go about your business . This should give her time to let it sink in. Sorry you are having to go through this

Can I say I'm really getting a kick out of this thread. I am lurking as a February Mom and the only advice I can offer is to leave the house when this happens. My husband unfortunately gets the brunt of my hormones and sometimes I just need time to myself. If this isn't your first child, take any children in the house with you, go to the hardware store or wal-mart or put gas in the car. There are a couple times I realized I was in a hormonal rage and there was nothing I or my husband could do I kicked him out of the house and threw (quite literally; it's a good thing he can catch) him the keys. Good luck and try to remember that it will pass once the baby comes.

This scenario that I blogged about was one to try and get a laugh from my wife as her and I sometimes read the dad's corner at night and laugh about some of the issues that are posted. It is most assuredly not her. I must say that I found quite possibly the most caring woman on the planet she works like crazy yet still has time for me and all of my stupidity. After reading this blog I realize that a lot of the scenarios are real and I should not be insensitive to insinuate that someone could be fearing their own death in a hormonal rage! Sorry folks I am retiring my pen as a blogger on this site. I love my wife more than anything in the world and she is a truly amazing woman to balance everything she has going on and to deal with a jerk like me. Sincerist apologies to anyone I may have offended. Looking forward to faherhood. Tarzan2009 out.
